I had a similar situation several years ago. I was a second or third year official, calling a game with one of the highly respected veterans in the area. To make matters worse, one of the coaches was my old HS coach several years before.

All during the first half, it seemed like everything happened in my partner's area, fouls, traveling, out of bounds, etc... I think I had maybe two whistles in the entire first half.

During halftime, I mentioned this to my partner and he asked if I thought that I was out of position or was there anything that I thought I should have called but didn't. This got to thinking back through the half and realizing that basically, nothing happened in my area worth blowing the whistle for.

Sometimes, it just going to happen that one official in a 2-person game gets the majority of the whistles. Just keep doing the right things and working hard.
